Anonymous Coward User ID: 85125828 Hong Kong 02/05/2023 09:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | His name was Alfred. Everyone called him Alfie. Met him at the mall, outside dunkin donuts when me and my pals were gpofing around, picking at a tray selection of jam and cream delights. He came up to our table, and kicked a chair round, sitting astride it in one fluid motion but backwards (the back of the chair was facing us, but he sat with his chest up against the back, then leant over it with his arms folded). He just seemed to be observing us for a second or two, before he said in a pretty deep, cool drawl "you going to offer me one of those jam rings or what?". He had a turtleneck black skivvy on, and an impressive, well-groomed gingery beard. He was also wearing top-gun aviator shades. It was hard not to be inspired, if not slightly in awe, at the sheer confidence of this mystery man we all soon came to know as Alfie. The king of cool. |

We've been married 29 years and even after all this time, he still makes me laugh every day and he's still my best friend. His name is David but everybody calls him Too Tall because he's 6'8". Best thing that ever happened to me. ~He who travels fastest goes alone ~I’ve got a lot of miles to roll And the next few only show That there’s still Such a long way to go ~I must have just been born no good Bad's the best that I can do |

User ID: 77416429 United States 02/05/2023 12:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Define "coolest"? I could drop so many names here you wouldn't believe me but probably the coolest was a former Harlen Globetrotter named Cleveland Harp. Met him when I was a teenager in Detroit Michigan. Cleveland lived in a hotel w/ his wife that my parents managed. My brother and I worked nights quite often and Cleveland was always there to keep a watchful eye over us. Just a peek into what made him "cool" was his always being ready to hang out with my brother and myself. He was always ready to play catch or go hit balls in an open field....stuff like that. One day I walked out of the lobby and Cleveland was in a lounge chair at the pool and had one of those aluminum trifold sun catchers sun bathers used back then and he had it as if trying to get a suntan on his face. I looked at him and said, "Cleveland, what the heck are you doing"? He just smiled and said, "Oh, you think we come by this naturally"? I thought I was gonna die laughing....but that was just who he was...cool He died a couple of years ago but here is a photo and great write up of this man that took time to just be friends with a couple of teenagers kids.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82552008 United States 02/05/2023 01:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My high school biology teacher was the navigator on the Enola Gay which dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. He was very detached from the experience and said just they had a job to do and they did it. I thought well that's one way of living with yourself. I don't know if he was "cool", but my experience in his class has stuck with me for years. |
